The sea, the sea!

The sea, the sea!

This time my guest was poet and activist Dian Sousa. We talked about creativity and the necessity of work, her immigrant parents and her love and respect for the sea, as well as our mystical connections to our ancestors. Then, we read some poetry.

The trauma of migration

My first guest was MT Vallarta, poet and Professor of Ethnic Studies at Cal Poly. They spoke about why they write poetry, their early years growing up in the Philippines, and the trauma of migration.
